Ishita (furious, pacing): "Mumma, apne damaad ko samjha lo, main kasam se iska muh tod dungi!!"
Abhishek (rolling his eyes): "Mummy ko kyun bol rahi hai? Himmat hai toh directly mujhse baat kar na!"
Ishita glares at him, stepping closer, and gives him a slight push.
Abhishek (widening his eyes, stepping back): "Dhakka mat maar! Agar maine dhakka diya na, seedha ghar ke bahar pahonch jaegi!"
Ishita (scoffing, leaning in): "Ohho badaa aaya! Maine dhakka maara na, tu seedha Punjab mein jaake girega."
Abhishek (raising an eyebrow): "Agar maine dhakka maara na, tu India ke bahar giregi!"
Ishita (getting louder): "Main dhakka maaru toh tu seedha solar system ke bahar milega!!"
Abhishek (pausing dramatically, as if really thinking): "Solar system ke baad..." (turning to Ishita's dad) "Papaji, solar system ke baad kya hota hai?"
Ishita's dad (scratching his head): "Galaxy, shayad?"
Ishita (annoyed): "Papa! Aap iss lallu ki help kyun kar rahe ho? Aap mere papa ho ya iske?"
Ishita's dad (shrugging, with a small smile): "Beta, ab toh technically dono ka hi hoon..."
Abhishek sticks his tongue out at Ishita like a child who just won the argument.
Abhishek's dad (chuckling): "Arre, lekin ye ladaai kis baat ki ho rahi hai? Batao toh sahi!"
Abhishek (getting serious again): "Papa, maine Ishita ko last month hi bola tha ki shaadi se pehle hum dono ghoomne jaenge. Sab plan kar liya tha! Aur ab ye mana kar rahi hai. WHY?"
Ishita (crossing her arms): "I didn't say no! Maine bas bola hai ki jo ek hafta hum Andaman Nicobar mein honge, tab ghoom lenge. Abhi 2 hafte mein shaadi hai aur isko ghoomne ki padi hai!"
Abhishek (shaking his head): "Wahan toh hum poora week shaadi ke functions mein busy honge!"
Ishita (sighing): "So we're anyways going to Europe after our wedding."
Abhishek (pouting a little): "But tab toh hum husband-wife honge. Aur vaise bhi, main tere saath hi ghoomne ka bol raha hoon."
Ishita: "To kya ab tu aur kisi ladki ke saath ghoomega? Dekhlo, abhi toh shaadi hui bhi nahi hai aur rang badalne lag gaya ye!"
Abhishek (throwing his hands up): "Maine toh kuch bola bhi nahi hai!!"
Ishita (narrowing her eyes): "Abhay! Faltu ki ladaai mat kar varna—"
Abhishek (challenging, stepping forward): "Varna? Varna kya?"
Without warning, in a heated moment, Ishita grabs the nearest glass of water and splashes it all over Abhishek's face. There's a stunned silence as the water drips down his face.
Abhishek (wiping his face, anger flashing briefly in his eyes): "Tu toh gayi ab!"
Without hesitation, he grabs a glass from the table and aims for her, but Ishita ducks out of the way. The water lands straight on Abhishek's dad's face instead. The entire room freezes. Abhishek's dad, now drenched, stands blinking in shock.
Ishita (rushing forward with a towel, pretending to be outraged): "Chiii, Abhishek! Shame on you! Papaji ko bhiga diya?!"
Abhishek's mom (bursting into laughter): "Arre, accha kiya! Aaj vaise bhi nahi nahaaye the!"
Everyone in the room grins as Abhishek's dad wipes his face, still in mild shock.
Abhishek (nervously, trying to shift the blame): "Sorry papa. Iss Ishita ke chakkar mein—"
